New developments at my side. I'm keeping a close watch on this. Let me see when it happens and how I can make it.
Else I will have to come up with a good reason.

Asking kind hearted friends to help me find some to tell Super Select in case I can't make it.
The below are ruled out.
1. Big fat wedding (No weddings in my small family for another 20 years that I might attend).
2. Fiat rally (father sold of the fiat 7 years back. Yet to get out of that shock).

It appears, some of us won't make it on Saturday (12th) for Dinner, and some won't make it on Sunday (13th) for Lunch.

It's only fair that we take a poll and decide the final date. Issigonis is ok with both.

Moderators, can we please have a poll ?

Title: Date for the "Farewell issigonis" meet in Mumbai.
1) Saturday 12th February 2011, Dinner.
2) Sunday 13th February 2011, Lunch.

Thank you, mods.

Respected Ravi ji, 12th dinner will be NO PROBLEM but lunch on 12th will be. Regards......

Hello Issigonis

I fondly remember your postings on my Jaguar XF ownership review. Are you leaving India temporarily or permanently. Anyhow I wish you a successful and pleasant stay in your new abode.

Had I been in Mumbai, I would have definitely attended your farewell party. I hope you will continue to be an active member of this community.

Wishing you all the success.

Sir,

This is temporary, love the country and Bombay too much to contemplate a permanent shift ( except a small villa in the south of France if gifted to me, with an M3 thrown in). Will be back soon, am expecting to be driving a fair bit in SA and if possible would love to drive from Jo'burg to Capetown to George.

Will post my driving experiences from there. You will love to know that there was a dark electric blue XF-R driven in the Supercar run yesterday; watched it rip on the Bandra Reclamation. The star of the show AFAIMC was the blood red Ferrari 599. Also came to know that a very esteemed member has an SLR 722 in London. Those two, especially the 722 and the 599 GTO ( sadly none in India yet) are blueblooded supercars.

Regards, enjoy the big cat, drive safe

Saar.. why are you making fun of a poor simple man, crushed by circumstances !
Please come for the meet !

Indroneel dada, will miss you for the short stint u will be away. Will definitely come for the meet wherever it is. Guys ask Issigonis where he would like to meet and freeze the location. If its Bandra, there are a lot of great options for brunch too, Global Fusion etc. For me anywhere will do.

Hey issigonis,
The hairline is already there, just need to work on those muscles a la Jason Statham, the Villa and the M3 will follow automatically

[SuperSelect]

Chaps..
We will have to close on the date and venue soon.
Right now, as per the poll, 13th Feb (Sunday) Lunch seems to be the way to go.
Can we have a list of confirmed attendees and / or a vote on the poll, at least ?
Will wait for a day more for poll votes and results, and then start posting a list of confirmations.

[Dippy]

I confirm for lunch on 13th Feb Sunday

[f1fan]

Voted.
Guys, if possible pls keep this on 12th as I wont be able to attend on the 13th.

Hey Prashant, I too have voted for the 12th (I guess we two are the only ones) - but we'll have to keep it as per number of votes, I guess..
Let's see.
Guys, we shall keep Sunday 30th Jan as the cut-off day to count votes and decide the final date. Please do vote, as there are going to be guys not able to make it on any one day.

[khoj]

Sunday the 13th, lunch is a done deal.

[SuperSelect]

Okay, people..
It's midnight - ie 31st Jan 2011, and we have to take a decision.
As per the poll, the date stands revised to Sunday the 13th of Feb for a brunch / lunch. (sorry Prashant..)

Please start adding your names by copy/paste to this list. I'm taking the liberty to add those who've confirmed.

1) issigonis
2) SuperSelect
3) Dippy
4) khoj
5) V-16

Awaiting confirmations from all the others.

Mods: request to please change the date on the thread title to 13th Feb Lunch.
